An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 4" x 8 1/4" [10 x 21 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More) U-Boote westwarts! (released in English-speaking countries as "U-Boats, Course West!"), the 1941 Gunther Rittau German World War II (WWII) Nazi propaganda military submarine naval melodrama (actually filmed on real U-boats; decades before "Das Boot", and it was filmed while the actual war raged on; the movie is on the conditional list due to the glorification of war) starring Herbert Wilk, Heinz Engelmann, Joachim Brennecke, E.W. Borchert, and Josef Sieber. Note that this is a "conditional" movie. This refers to around 40 movies that were made in Germany between 1933 and 1945, during the time the Nazis were in power in Germany. These movies are considered to be propaganda movies, which glorify the Nazi regime and their ideals. Immediately after World War II, a list of over 100 movies that were made between 1933 and 1945 was created, and those movies were not allowed to be shown at any time in Germany or Austria. Over the next decade, around 60 of those movies were taken off the list so that they are allowed to be shown (but rarely are), and those movies are known as "forbidden movies", because even though they can now be shown, they could not be shown at all in the years right after World War II. The remaining 40 or so movies (including this one) are known as "conditional" movies, because they are still not allowed to be shown in Germany or Austria, even in the present day, with the sole exception being when they are shown in an educational context, like at a university, and a speaker talks before and after the movie. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Note that this movie was released at the time when there were huge paper shortages in Germany, and they made a larger and a smaller "Das Programm von Heute" program, no doubt using the smaller programs for the smaller theaters. Note that this program was published by Das Programm von Heute, a different type of program that is far more rare than the regularly seen German programs. The program has six pages, but it is printed on a large single sheet that is tri-folded (we have photographed both sides of the program completely unfolded). Condition: fair to good. There are stains at the bottom of the cover. The program was folded in half. There is a small tape repair in the right border of the cover. Learn More about condition grades
